Although residential care and assisted living for older adults has
expanded rapidly in recent decades, it has done so in a policy
environment beset by confusion and conflicting purposes. Sharon A.
Baggett traces many of the current problems to insufficient
knowledge of the population these policies are designed to serve.
In her examination of the frequently neglected interface between
policy and people, she provides a comprehensive review of current
federal and state policies, a detailed case study of a state
residential care program, and an analysis of the needs and
characteristics of persons in assisted living facilities. Baggett's
policy overview covers such areas as the confusion between housing
and care, supply and demand factors in the economics of residential
care, conditions contributing to the increase in numbers of
assisted living facilities, and current policies that define and
limit the choice of residential alternatives. A case study of
Oregon's residential care program shows how that state has adapted
federal initiatives to local goals and philosophies of long-term
care. Funding mechanisms, regulations, and the role of state
agencies in developing and monitoring compliance are discussed.
Following a comprehensive profile of facility residents, the
question of using functional assessment measures to determine
individual needs is explored. Linking the larger policy issues with
an in-depth analysis of residents served and actual services
provided, this book will be helpful to policy planners and
developers, administrators, and case managers, as well as students
and academics concerned with housing and assisted living services
for the elderly.
